Homemade Meat Pie Food

MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the potato in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, crumble the ground beef and pork into a large saucepan, and add the garlic, onion and water. Season with mustard powder, thyme, cloves and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring to crumble the meat and mix in the spices, until the meat is evenly browned. Remove from the heat, and mix in the mashed potato.
• Place one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate. Fill with the meat mixture, then top with the other pie crust. Prick the top crust a few times with a knife to vent steam. Crimp around the edges using the tines of the fork, and remove any excess dough. Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust has browned. Serve by itself, or with a beef gravy.

GOOD OLD MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie crust out into a 12 inch circle. Set aside.
• Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add potato and onion, and cook until the onion is tender, but not brown. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, and stir to blend. Season with oregano, black pepper and garlic powder. Pour in the beef broth, and add the peas, carrot and beef. Bring to a boil. Transfer the mixture to a 2 quart casserole dish, and place the pastry over the top. Cut slits for steam, and flute the edges.
• Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crust is golden. Let stand 10 minutes before serving to thicken.

HOMEMADE MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Peel potatoes and carrots, cut them into very small cubes. Dice the onion and celery into small pieces. Mix all the veggies together put in a microwave safe bowl, cover and cook in the microwave about 6 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are slightly tender. In the mean time brown the meat.
• Mix the cooked meat into the veggies and spoon into the prepared pie crust.
• Mix the bouillon and hot water together making sure it's completely dissolved. Pour over the meat/veggie mix. Pour in the cornstarch mix for thickening. Add salt and pepper to taste, (but I take it easy with the salt because of the bouillon). Cover with the top crust and bake for about 1 hour, until the crust is nicely brown.
• I use a home made pie crust (the Crisco recipe). I find it works better than a frozen crust. It is a little hard to serve, the filling falls out frequently, but it never seems to last long enough on the plate for anyone to worry about.
• My diabetic father eats this with great pleasure and no risk, everything is very lean, I drain the meat after cooking if my dad is having some, and there is obvious fat. My mom has high blood pressure, and eats this with no problem as long as I limit the salt or don't add any at all (the bouillon is salty enough).
• Enjoy.
